Texas Tech football hosts potential 2020 starter for official visit

It’s no secret that the Texas Tech football program has a need at offensive tackle now that both 2019 starters, Travis Bruffy and Terence Steele, have exhausted their eligibility. We’ve also discussed in the past week how the answers for 2020 might come in the JUCO ranks.

A new name to monitor is Etha Carde, who took an official visit to Lubbock this past weekend. The Coffeyville C.C. product checks in at a massive 6-foot-8, 325 pounds.

Rated by 247Sports as a 3-star prospect and the No. 18 JUCO tackle in the nation, he would likely compete for a starting job next year for a Red Raider program that does not have any definitive answers on either end of the line.
